Hi, I am a new owner and seriously impressed with the E71. This is like a breath of fresh air compared to having endured Windows Mobile since their first ever device.
As ever however there are some queries I am left with and I hope someone is able to help:
* How do I remove the animated operator startup splash screens? My phone is branded to the 3 network in the UK. Better still, can I hard reset and debrand all network customisations?
* When I pair my mono Plantronics 510 Bluetooth earpiece to the E71, the phone automatically routes ALL audio through the earpiece! Ringtones, music, SMS alerts... So I either have to wear the earpiece all day, or turn it off - but then I can't pick it up to receive a call!
Worse still, I get in the car and the phone connects to my JVC KD-BT5 stereo. All audio is again routed through the stereo's A2DP source. But if I listen to the radio, I don't hear the phone audio, and again miss out on SMS alerts and more!
This is the only A2DP phone I know that doesn't let you choose whether each Bluetooth headset is also a 'Bluetooth Audio Device'! Even Windows Mobile had a checkbox for that!!
* On a YouTube video of the E71 I see the menu screens crossfading into each other, but on mine they do not. How do I enable this?
* The camera quality is appalling. The amount of grain must be a bug. Nokia will lose sales on this compared to the Blackberry Bold which has a lower-res yet better quality camera. Also AutoFocus should be Auto (!) not require pressing the 't' key.
Thanks in advance!
